Send the C7 to Lingenfelter.

I know you are kidding but I think if you saw them together in person you would see they are very different. About the only real similarity to me are the headlights.

I have a neighbor who bought an F12 in June.
As beautiful as a Stingray is, the F12 is both gorgeous and a Ferrari - not saying it is worth 6x the price, but if your goal is to pick up chicks with 1/2 a brain, the Ferrari is the better choice.
I can't see spending almost $400k on a car (with tax) to drive it about 1,500 miles a year, but I'll take an F12 over a Stingray - as I am sure most on here would if the choice was one or the other.

Even better is Marty can have both along with the rest of his amazing Collection!

A chick with 1/2 a brain won't know the difference. It will however attract the slick "hold on to your wallet" type chick though.

That's a different ballgame then. You can do the same with a C6 by modding the heck out of it.

the performance version of the Corvette will no doubt be able to take the Ferarri F12 in a race...the F12 is a fricken beautiful machine but its more of a GT touring car due to its fat weight! (motor trend comparison ringed one in at just over 4000lbs)
but hands down...its one of the nicest Ferarri bodys ever made...and the interior is a masterpiece!
If i was Marty....with a garage full of Ferarris...a nice C7 would make a great daily driver that I wouldnt have to worry about when i went to the grocery store
